My wallet wishes these were freebies, but sadly not. Haven't played Armada in a while so this spend should encourage me to get back in to it.

The new campaign system is a lot of fun. I wish they'd used counters instead of stickers for the campaign map but putting the stickers on the pile of extra objective tokens works as a fix. I'm currently playing in a 6-player version of the game. Sadly our plucky little band of Rebels went 0 for 3 in our first round of battles so we're already on the hind foot. I've got a second battle scheduled today but I'm not too optimistic. I've got two Mon Cal cruisers, a corvette, and 7 fighter squadrons against 2 Imperial Star Destroyers, an Interdictor, and whatever he spent his upgrade points on (all my points went towards repairs from the last battle.).

Very good match today. It was a nail biter right until the final turn. Sadly I came out on the losing end of it as our ships got into knife fighting range. The Imperial tractor beams really ruined my day by slowing me down so I couldn't keep the ISDs in my preferred firing arcs. I knocked Tarkin's flagship down to 1HP left but couldn't finish him off. I ended up losing a cruiser, a corvette, and a squadron of X-wings and one of Z95s to his 9 TIEs.

I would, but there's this small problem that she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Also she does like playing board/videogames with me, she's just annoyed I spent so much on Armada when I barely play it.

Well, you got me there. My wife of 24-some years refuses to play board games. I think that's what nerds call a 'keeper' in your case.
